KITCHEN FURNISHINGS.

New dishes, glass, and cutlery need
| thorough washing. If all new crockery
is put over the stove in a large boiler full
of cold water, and heated to the boiling
point and then allowed to cool in the
water, it will not be so likely to break or
check subsequently from heat. \ wood
en- tub is better for washing delicate Chi
ma and glass than a metal pan, but it
should be scalded with clean boiling wa
ter after it is used. All dishcloths and
towels should be scalded every day, and
dried in the sun If possible, but at all
events in the open air. Table linen does
not need to be boiled every time it is
washed, but it should be scalded; little
borax dissolved in the wash water will
thoroughly cleanse the cloth without in
jury. BOraX, ammonia, or little wash
ing soda, dissolved in the hot water used
for washing silver, will keep it looking
bright. especially if after it is wiped it is
rubbed with soft channels. The polish
impaired by securing powders and soaps
is really removal by friction of a minute
surface of the silver or electro-plate. The
chamois can be washed when necessary in
warm water in which enough soap is dis
solved to make lather; rub the chamos
well in this water, applying more soap to
discOlored portions, then rinse it through
several waters, lukewarm, and hang it to
dry without wringing it. Several times,
while it is drying, shake it and stretch it
by pulling.
New metal utensils should be put over
the fire, with little washing soda dis
solved in the water with which it is filled
and thoroughly scalded before they are
used the first time for cooking. If they
are always filed with water and set where
it will keep warm, directly after they are
used, they can be cleaned readily when
they are washed. a little powdered brick
dust or ashes, sffted very fine, or some
securing soap upon the discloth, will
clean them as part of the oper-
alton of washing them. If salt and
vinegar are used in securing cOppers, they
will tarnish again quickly they should
be carefully washed off if they are used,
to prevent the formation of verdigris.
Utensils which have become discolored
by lack of use, or coated with any sub
stance from carelessness, can be easily
secured if they are first boiled for few
moments in plenty of water containing
washing soda. The networks of iron
or steel links which are sold for cleaning
kettles are useful when there is no tin or
porcelain lining; they will rub off the coat
ing of rust on iron pots, and FURNISH the
surface which has been roughened by the
action of the rust.

ODDS AND ENDS,

| When YOU clean the attic and closets
Bundles will accumulate in year or t,yc
even when you think you are economical
and use up all the pieces to the best adj
vantage But too large a collection of
bundles does not speak well for the thrift
of the housekeeper.
Old wooden pieces will harbor moths
| and lead to the destruction of CARPETS.
| furs and fiannels: so the fewer old COATS
summer the better Mems clothes when
worn out should be picked apart, washed
and ironed. The good portions with a
pattern to cut by, will make over for the
little boys, or serviceable jackets NAV be
made for the girls to wear under their
cloaks. Colored braid and facings will
brighten up the dark cloth.
Cases for hot sOapStOneS and bricks
made of thick cloth are convenient in
cold weather.
We have seen mittens cut with good
pattern which were liked by men while
doing rough work.
The skirts of old print dresses make
good kitchen aprons, or cut into large
squares, answers as covers for nice furni-
ture while sweeping, or as busters, of
which there should be several about the
house 1t is not economy to use old
print for comfortable Innings, as new
print is cheap and bedding wears out fast
enough when made of new
Old cotton cloth has an abundance of
uses. 4 generous roll should be reserved
for sickness, as it is cruel to submit the
skin of an invalid to the roughness of
new or starched clothing.
Worn knit underwear may be cut over
into smaller sizes, but if new garments
are worn in winter and the old in summer
there will be nothing to alter over, for
the pieces will all be nsed in mending.
A dozen ways of using the odds and
ends will suggest themselves to the thrift
ty housewife after she has made up her
mind to the work and it will be a great
move toward the spring house cleaning.
Old stockings make over well for
smaller feet and it is time well spent when
good shapely hose costs from thirty to
seventy-tive cents a pair Cheap stock
ings are not worth making over, and when
new they have no shape or beauty.
Garments and cloths sometimes have TO
be destroyed in sickness and stock of
old soft cloth is then of great value in
point of comfort and as saving the de-
struction of new material. Flannel which
is all wool should be carefully boarded
for it is sometimes as necessary in sick
ness as a doctor.

Not Self, But Christ.

There is more pulp than pluck in
great deal of what passes for piety.
1t is an audacious attempt to get a
free ride to heaven in a drawing
room car, with plenty of select COM
pany and good fare on the road
''Will DR.. Abe in his pulpit to-
day: VIII the music be up to the
mark: Is it likely to clear off
Then III try TO go TO church to-day. .
With such a soliloquy ON Sabbath
morning, how much grace is there
likely to be left after the wear and
tear of the week?
The piety that Christ smiles upon
is piety that will stand pinch and
face a storm; that would rather eat
an honest crust than fare sumptu-
ously on unholy gains; that gladly
gives up his couch of ease to sally
off on its mission among the out
casts that sets its Puritan face like
a flint against fashionable sins. We
talk glibIy about talking upa cross, y
but cross is intended for some
bOdy's crucifixion. On Calvary's
Cross we know full well who bled
away His precious life. On our
cross, self is to be the victim. Paul
the heroic was emphasizing this fact
when he commanded Christians to
mortify their members which are
upon the earth. TIE American Re-
vision Of the New Testament hits the
the sense of this passage more ac-
curatelv: "Pm 10 death your own
members" etc. Loyalty to Christ
often demands the plucking out of
the right eve and the amputation of
the right arm. The sublime glory
of Abraham's offering really was
that he was willing TO thrust the
knife through the very heart of self.
Oh, it Is not the taking up: 1t Is the
giving up, that makes a strong, ath-
letic, heroic Christian.-Dr. I. l.
CUyier.

in what she was hearing to think of

Jane waited a moment to recove
from her fright then, creeping softl,
towards the little window, looked in
to the chamber. Miss Mills and he
friend sat quite across the room, by
window, and were speaking, in :

Now that wasn't much for Jane tC

to think it a great deal for them tc
say; for they looked at each other
and nodded, and pressed their lips
together as if they were thinking
dreadful things. Then they be
gan to speak again, this time in
whispers.
Jane was in agonies of curiosity.
She would have given any money, if
she had possessed it, to be able to
hear. She twisted herself this way
and that, put her ear close to the
opening, and even leaned through a
little she ached all over with the
way she had to crouch she worked

go to the sideboard," resumed
her friend, 'stake a bottle out of the
lower closet, and-GOOdness gra-
cious what is that?
Both jumped up at the loud knock,
tumble, scream and bump they
heard and, running to the passage,
found Jane lying at the foot of the
stairs, almost senseless.
If she had jumped up and shown
herself only little hurt, her aunt
would have given her good whip
ping on the spot; for it was plain
to both that she had been listening
but there she lay, perfectly still.
They got her up, and called help;
and presently she came to. But
such a sight. Her face was COW
cred with blood from her nose, and
there was big lump pulled out on
the side of her forehead. They said
nothing to her about listening, for
she was punished pretty well for it,
they thought.
After a few hours, they found
that she was punished more severely
than they had known at first for her
nose was broken. They sent for
doctor, but it was no good. Broken
the bone was, and broken it would
stay.
So Jane had to go through life
with her nose sunk down in the mid
die, and her looks spoiled, just be-
cause she was curious to know what
didn't concern her, and because she
had the mean habit of listening.
She never hears anything said about
little pitchers having large ears, with
out thinking that they have noses
that can be broken, too. But |
think the break cured her of listen
ing.
The moral of my story is this
Let the little pitchers look out for
